Gov. Byron Mallott certified the ballot initiative after the initiative\u2019s sponsor, the Alaska Fisheries Conservation Alliance, submitted 43,000 signatures in support of the measure, 36,000 of which were declared valid by the Division of Elections.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative would have almost exclusively impacted the Kenai Peninsula, where 735 set-net permits are registered alongside a large guided angler industry. Alaska residents hold more than 80 percent of the permits.<\/p>\n<p>After the initiative was filed, then-Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell rejected it in January 2014 as an allocative measure, which is prohibited by the Alaska Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>AFCA appealed and won a reversal in Superior Court that allowed the alliance to begin collecting signatures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still shaking,\u201d said Resources for All Alaskans President Jim Butler after the decision was issued. Resources for all Alaskans, or RFAA, is a relatively new group formed to combat the set-net ban. It weighed in on the argument in March 2014 supporting the state\u2019s assertion that the initiative was a prohibited appropriation of state resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI very much appreciate the court\u2019s effort to very methodically and step-by-step analyze the constitutional issues as well as the vision of the framers of the Alaska Constitution to get to their decision,\u201d Butler said.<\/p>\n<p>The Alaska Fisheries Conservation Alliance released a statement saying its members were disappointed by the decision and referring to the signatures of the registered voters who signed to have the ban put on the ballot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are disappointed with the court\u2019s decision to deny voters an opportunity to weigh in on the method and means for harvesting,\u201d said AFCA president Joe Connors in the written statement.<\/p>\n<p>Founding member Bob Penney is also quoted in the statement, he said he is \u201cdeeply disappointed because the Kenai Kings are the real loser here and it now seems their species will continue to decline. Maybe it\u2019s time the federal government looked into this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When reached by phone Saturday, Penney said he was on vacation and had no comment on the decision.<\/p>\n<p>AFCA Executive Director Clark Penney, Bob Penney\u2019s grandson, said the group is looking into the Endangered Species Act as another avenue to protect salmon caught by set nets.<\/p>\n<p>Clark Penney said the group\u2019s focus was not just on Kenai River king salmon, but on protecting fish species that are targeted by ineffective means.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see set nets as the least effective for taking their target fisheries,\u201d Clark Penney said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the court, commercial set-netters are a distinct user group who would be unfairly stripped of a public resource allocation \u2014 their part of the millions of salmon that return to Alaska each year \u2014 to another party\u2019s benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the members of AFCA are sportfishermen who would ostensibly see more salmon in the river were the commercial nets to be removed from the water. Two board members, Joe Connors and Derek Leichliter, are former set net fishermen.<\/p>\n<p>The court wrote in the Thursday ruling that the initiative, were it to pass, would essentially devote salmon to a specific user group on the Kenai Peninsula, to the exclusion of another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe concluded that the initiative in question was a give-away program because it was \u2018designed to appeal to the self-interests of sport, personal, and subsistence fishers, in that those groups were specifically targeted to receive state assets in the circumstance of harvestable shortages,\u201d the court wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The court also concluded that the ballot initiative would have narrowed the Legislature\u2019s and Board of Fisheries\u2019 ability to make allocations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf (the initiative) were enacted, then neither the Legislature or the Board would be able to allocate any salmon stock to this significant, existing user group,\u201d the court wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>Due to copyright law, the Alaska Salmon Alliance cannot repost full articles.
